Harmonised de facto marital status
De facto marital status. Differentiates between the following statuses 0 “Under 16 years”, 1 “Married”, 2 “Living as couple”, 3 “Widowed”, 4 “Divorced”, 5 “Separated”, and 6 “Never married”. Uses information from the derived age variable (age_dv ) to decide whether a person is a child under 16. Those with a marital or registered married partner in the household (sppno > zero), are assigned a value of 1. Those living in a couple (ppno > zero and not equal sppno ), are assigned a value of 2. Note that individuals in the UKHLS, who claim to live in a couple (see variable livewith ) but whose partner is not enumerated in the household, are coded as -9 “Missing”. Syntax file marstat_dv creates marital status derived variable.
Uses marstat , age_dv , sppno and ppno .
